Barcelona - Las Palmas predictions

It’s quite easy to predict that Barcelona will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Las Palmas will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

What everyone expected to be a tightly-contested affair turned into a one-sided match as Barca recorded a convincing Atlético Madrid away win in the last round of the La Liga. With an HT/FT victory like this in the bag, the hosts will be highly motivated ahead of Saturday.

Las Palmas are coming off from a tight 0:1 loss against Almería in the last round. Their overall performance was sub-par in both halves of the match, which is why they lost 0:1 a relatively easy matchup.

The fact that they’re playing at Camp Nou is a boost to Barca. They’ve thrived in their recent home games, managing to score more than 5 times over the previous

Las Palmas may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

The two teams already met this season in the La Liga, with Blaugrana taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Frenkie de Jong, P. Paez Gaviria, Ferrán Torres, Alejandro Balde Martínez, Pedri, João Cancelo will have to sit this one out, while Las Palmas will have to make do without Cristian Herrera, Daley Sinkgraven, Julian Araujo.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1.50, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
